The worldwide controversy swirling around doomsday Code
Red 'author' and talk show guest David Booth, is now back on the front
burner.

If you are new to this story and would like backgroud,
please see 'David Booth - Plagiarist?' at http://www.rense.com/general50/doom2.htm

Two outstanding research journalists volunteered their
time and expertise to investigate the text in Mr. Booth's book, 'Code Red:
The Coming Destruction of America, 2004' to see if there is further evidence
of plagiarism. Both have now completed their research and both have determined
that Booth's doom-laden book 'Code Red' is a near cover-to-cover verbatim
compilation of plagiarized articles, essays and stories - or portions thereof.

This new and unprecedented investigation began with our
receipt of the following email from one of our sharp-eyed readers who had
followed the original Rense.com Feature Story 'David Booth - Plagiarist'
which detailed how Booth had been charged with direct plagiarism of the
writings of Amitakh Stanford who also writes under the pen name of 'D.M.'

During his recent 'Final' radio interview on this program
on April 12, Mr. Booth explained away the D.M. plagiarism allegation by
stating that he, David Booth, had actually written the Stanford material
in question back in the very early 90s on a message board...and that Stanford/D.M.
had used HIS material in her book.

Here is the email I received:

From Melody

Dear Mr. Rense,

I urge you to reinvestigate the material posted on your
site at the following link: http://www.rense.com/ufo5/nib2000.htm

This article is printed almost word-for-word in Mr. Booth's
book from pages 57 to 61. The book appears to be a copy and paste of several
websites. I am so disappointed.

Although many post information on the internet without
copyright protection, don't we have a moral obligation to others to acknowledge
their ideas? There is no indication in Mr. Booth's book that he copied
much of the information word-for-word from different web sites. He implies
it is his story, therefore, his words.

As I can remember so long ago in my basic English classes
in college when learning to right the 'research paper', my professor indicated
to me that it is perfectly acceptable to copy to my paper anything I would
like to support my thesis AS LONG AS I INDICATED IN QUOTATIONS THE WORDS
OF ANOTHER AND DEFINED A CLEAR SOURCE FOR THE QUOTE. Only then you are
not guilty of plagiarism.

Mr. Booth indicates he is a moral man. Doesn't he realize
that plagiarism is an immoral act in literary circles?

Sincerely,

Melody

I immediately checked the article, posted at Rense.com
in 1999 as authored by 'Voitron50', and verified the article does, in fact,
appear in Mr. Booth's book with no attribution or mention of the author
'Voitron' whatsoever. Several attempts have been made to contact 'Voitron50'...to
no avail so far.

At this point, the two excellent investigative journalists
stepped in and began independent efforts, thoroughly searching Mr. Booth's
'Code Red' for examples of plagiarized material. Each journalist took one
half of the book and went through it with care and deliberation, checking
and cross-checking key sections, quotes and paragraphs through Google looking
for matches. And matches were found...in a veritable avalanche.

The implications of this discovery are profound. Not
only do they cast the darkest shadows over the rest of David Booth's claims
and 'dreams' but they point up, once again, the incredible power of people
in the public eye to impact and, in some cases, harm the peace and tranquility
of the lives of millions of listeners and readers. Did David Booth actually
have the 10 days of identical dreams of catastrophe for the planet Earth?
Is he the same 14 year old boy who attempted, at knifepoint, to hijack
a loaded US airliner in Ohio? Who IS David Booth?

In his 'Final' interview, he clearly, and many say shockingly,
stated his personal political convictions in heaping enormous praise on
former President Clinton and President Bush...and seemed utterly oblivious
to the withering assault upon and destruction of the US Constitution, The
Bill Of Rights, American Civil Liberties and Freedoms and a host of other
issues which are rapidly eroding America into a police state and making
it the most hated nation on earth. Who IS David Booth? A Neocon NWO Christian
fundamentalist? An MK Ultra style dupe...a tool of a psy-op designed to
play with the hearts, minds...and fears....of Americans who seek their
news and information outside of the mainstream monopoly media mind control
machine which now dominates our wounded and troubled nation? Or, merely
another charlatan wanting a stage and an audience?

Mr. David Booth is more than welcome...in fact, millons
will insist...that he respond to this investigation personally and directly.
He owes everyone whose life he has touched that much, at least.

The first of the two researchers' reports you will now
read is that of Theresa de Veto,the highly-talented
editor-journalist of the excellent geopolitical news and preparednessnet site 'Surfing The Apocalypse.' Theresa's analysis covers
the first half of David Booth's book, 'Code Red.'

Theresa used her own copy of Code Red in her research.
The second journalist, Ms. Periwinkle, used the online pdf of the book
for her research.

Note - The online pdf can be accessed only if the person
is signed up to the Yahoo group 'Captain_nibiru' where it is housed. Here

Mr. Booth stated in his April 12 interview on my program
that his booklet and DVD will permanently cease to be available as of April
20, 2004. However, his site also says: "This offer is limited to either
April 20, 2004 or when the limited stock is sold out."

He also stated, unequivocally, that things 'will never,
ever be the same' after the period of April 20 to May 20.

We are about to find out...

Surfing The Apocalypse

http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.com

After all of the controversy about plagiarism in David
Booth's book "Code Red", I decided to see what I could find to
research the allegations. On a hunch I started entering random phrases
from the book into Google (internet search engine). After doing this a
few times and finding that every phrase that I entered matched a web page,
I decided to undertake a more methodical search.

I started at the first part of the book and proceeded
through the first half to see how much of the book matched articles published
on the internet.

I found that, starting at page 10, the first half of
the book is a compilation of articles, located on the internet, attributed
to various authors. None of the articles were attributed to David Booth.
It appears that whoever "wrote" this book, took the material
from a range of different online sites which included everything from encyclopedia
entries to material from NASA.

Most of the pages in the book that match are verbatim
to what is found on the net. There are sometimes slight variations in the
book where a sentence is left out or something is added to the beginning
or end of the article found on the internet. I did not find any matches
on pages 48-51 which details David's "vision".

The book appears to be a "cut and paste" job.
That said, whoever did the "editing" in putting these articles
together did so in an informed and deliberate manner, connecting the random
pieces together to form a coherent whole. I believe it was done by someone
(Booth?) who is very well read in these topics. The book actually flows
well from one topic to another, which is quite surprising given that the
material was taken from so many different writers.

My Method

I took a piece of a sentence from the book. I fed that
in quotations into the Google search engine. I looked for pages that contained
the phrase as well as the words around the phrase. Once a match was found,
I compared the entire web piece with the book.
